Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and currently has 17 points. The team has not had a long losing streak since the beginning of this season and, as a rule, does not lose more than two games in a row. However, after a successful match with Philadelphia (3:4 OT), the Senators first lost to Carolina (0:4) on the road, and then lost at home to Edmonton with a score of 2:5. At the same time, if earlier Travis Green team often distinguished itself with classy efficiency and scored at least three or four goals, then in recent matches he could not score more than two goals.
The Canadians are most productive in the final twenty minutes, in which they have a 16:19 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. In general, they are used to acting on counter-courses, so they play most of the time on counterattacks and try to wait for mistakes from the opponent. It should be emphasized that the Senators are great in the 5x4 format and are one of the best in the league in terms of power play, currently having 31%. Also, since the beginning of the season, Tim Stützle has demonstrated incredible performance, having earned 19 points in the goal + pass system. The German forward continues to be distinguished by his productive actions on the ice and rarely leaves the ice without scoring at least one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shane Pinto will not take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Ottawa takes at least 31 shots on goal
The Canadians play well on offense and try to make shots from any position.
- On average, the Canadians allow 3.67 goals per game on the road.
Ottawa plays poor defense on the road and usually allows opponents to score at least three times
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas has big ambitions this season and plans to fight for the Stanley Cup. The team is currently in fourth place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 24 points. It shows very good results on its home ice and beats opponent after opponent, but on the road it is not doing well at all. Recently, the Golden Knights have also often had problems and suffered two defeats in a row. Let us recall that after successful meetings with Anaheim (3:2) and Utah (4:2), they could not cope with Washington at home (2:5), and also lost to Toronto on the road - 0:3.
Let us emphasize that Vegas' most vulnerable spot remains its defense, as on average it has no less than three goals in its net and it is still unable to improve this indicator. In terms of attack, the club is the best in its conference and has managed to score a total of 72 goals, so it is surprising that it was left goalless in the last confrontation. It is also worth mentioning that Vegas has no difficulties with the majority and currently ranks second in the league in this indicator, with a 34% conversion rate.
Bruce Cassidy team performs best in the final twenty minutes, during which they score a lot themselves and concede very little in return.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lehner, Olofsson, Stone, Hague and Hutton will be out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vegas averages 5.5 minutes in penalties
The Knights are known for their good discipline and are rarely sent off more than two or three times per match.
- According to statistics, the team makes 31 shots on target
Vegas is showing an active game in attack and is trying to shoot at the opponent goal as often as possible
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.75Bet 3rd period: guests will score
In four out of five games, the visitors scored goals in the third period against the Canadians.
1.45Tip and bets
Vegas is not in its best shape at the moment and has many problems, including with the roster, but we would not consider it an underdog in the confrontation with the Senators. Previously, the Canadians also demonstrated mediocre results and are currently on a series of three defeats. Plus, past matches between the clubs, as a rule, were in favor of the Golden Knights in regular time. By the way, in the entire history of confrontations, they only once lost to their counterpart within 60 minutes.
Prediction - Vegas win with handicap (0) for 2.15
Bet on individual total
Vegas usually shows good results and scores at least three goals. As a rule, the team relies on attack and also looks great in the majority. After a dry defeat, the Knights will probably try to improve and play even more actively in the opponent zone. Ottawa has conceded at least three times in three previous matches, so it makes sense to bet on the total of the guests.
We take Vegas' individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.67
Total Bet
Previous matches between the clubs were spectacular and often involved six or more goals. The teams are not shy about playing open hockey with each other and are constantly on opposite courses. Vegas is not known for its reliable defense, so it throws all its efforts into attack, and the Senators are also used to playing in a similar style, not thinking about defense.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.57
